Comments on the Jochum SUP
May 13,2008
Staff requests that the applicant submit a noxious weed survey for county listed noxious weeds. Our main
concern in this area is diffuse knapweed, there have been small populations in that area in the past. If
noxious weeds are found on the site, we request that the applicant provide a weed management plan.
